Finance Minister Amr El Garhy and Planning Minister Hala El Said will brief the MPs on the budget bill, committee chairman Yasser Omar said, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alborsanews.com\/2017\/04\/18\/1011212\">Al Borsa<\/a>. Omar says the committee was expecting to begin its discussions this week, but has yet to receive the draft budget and is still discussing the final accounts for the current fiscal year. El Garhy assured President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Tuesday that the government\u2019s fiscal reforms will not affect social welfare program instead will see a 30% rise in spending on food subsidies and a 50% increase in total spending on social welfare programs, according to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=18042017&id=b01bfcde-4149-48be-8cd5-8fef56d6c28d\">statement<\/a> from Ittihadiya.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as more details of the budget are emerging,including a report that <strong>the <\/strong><strong>government anticipates tax revenues from the oil and gas sector to rise 37.7% to EGP 44 bn<\/strong>, an official from the EGPC tells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=18042017&id=53734a15-1b3b-4cdb-8897-fa47465da1fc\">Al Shorouk<\/a>.

She singled out one element of the reports that suggests a decline in consumer spending is a result of the high inflation and proceeded to grill her guests on what this means for the Ismail government\u2019s economic reform drive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First up was Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil<\/strong>, who responded by showcasing how exports have grown to USD 1.8 bn in February, up from USD 1.5 bn during the same month last year. The rise in exports, along with a USD 7 bn decline in imports, has helped decrease the trade deficit by USD 9 bn. Kabil also noted 42% growth in the industrial sector and noted that simplified licensing under the Industry Permits Act will help attract FDI (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TmhvKEIUvpc\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 13:27).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kabil\u2019s interview moved the episode nicely on to exports.<\/strong> Next up, Arafa Holding Chairman <strong>Alaa Arafa<\/strong> reminded Lamees that the full fruits of the economic reform program will take to appear. He said improvements on the export front are already visible, but pointed out that (we\u2019re paraphrasing here) it takes time to turn around an aircraft carrier (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wr_dyU21oqo\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 6:17).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The contrarian:<\/strong> Export Development Council member Magdy Tolba chimed in by saying that the export growth is still \u201cminimal\u201d considering the number of factories that closed or downsized after 2011 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WCcIGo51ugE\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 4:22). Industries that rely on locally sourced components and raw materials will benefit the most from the export drive, said Sherif El Gabaly, head of the chemical industries division of the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce. He thinks chemical industries and fertilizers are among those that have the best export prospects (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TSYS7w_0N8I\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 7:17).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legislative branch won\u2019t back down from fight with the judiciary:<\/strong> Over on Al Hayah Al Youm, head of the Cairo Criminal Court Abdel Emam reiterated that the House of Representatives\u2019 amendments to the judicial codes granting the president the right to appoint the heads of judicial committees was unconstitutional (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jjxISuM_rW4\">watch<\/a>, runtime: 4:03). The House had reportedly fired back at the judiciary, with the deputy chair of the House Legislative Committee declaring that the Council of State (Maglis El Dowla) had no legal standing to offer a judicial opinion on the matter, after it called the law illegal, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shorouknews.com\/news\/view.aspx?cdate=18042017&id=31886f64-97f8-4c39-bcba-5bbfc62643cc\">Al Shorouk<\/a>. He stated that only the Constitutional Court can rule on the legality of the law which passes through the House, adding that Parliament will vote on the amendments regardless of the Maglis\u2019 opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Dean of the Faculty of Islamic Studies at Al Azhar University Abdel Moneim Fouad took to Yahduth fi Masr to<strong> reject opinions that Al Azhar\u2019s teaching had themselves contributed to a rise in extremism.<\/strong> His statements follow Al Azhar\u2019s Council of Senior Scholars officially denouncing these accusations earlier in the day. The Council said in a statement yesterday that it alone is \u201cmandated to teach righteous Islamic dogma that spreads peace and stability,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/1\/64\/265195\/Egypt\/Politics-\/Egypts-AlAzhar-rejects-defamatory-accusations-that.aspx\">Ahram Online reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib was off last night.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"648988\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"648988\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/04\/19\/daesh-gunmen-attack-checkpoint-by-st-catherine-monastery-in-sinai\/\">\r\n                            Daesh gunmen attack checkpoint by St. Catherine Monastery in Sinai                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2017\/04\/19\/daesh-gunmen-attack-checkpoint-by-st-catherine-monastery-in-sinai\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
